    omg this album is his best one yet. every song just feels like you’re living in another world, and they sound very different from each other. he really explored a lot of new genres and expanded his sound. and don’t get me started on his amazing vocals. before you say “he sounds the same”, “he’s mediocre and boring” just give it a listen, you won’t regret it at all. one of the best albumsomg this album is his best one yet. every song just feels like you’re living in another world, and they sound very different from each other. he really explored a lot of new genres and expanded his sound. and don’t get me started on his amazing vocals. before you say “he sounds the same”, “he’s mediocre and boring” just give it a listen, you won’t regret it at all. one of the best albums released on 2020 no doubt.

    Cada cancion es un mundo y estas invitado a perderte en cada cancion.(no todas las canciones son de amor romantico)Si quieres perderte entre melodías encontraras magnificas canciones para eso,la inspiración de Shawn Mendes en Frankie Vali y Rex orange country hace que las canciones esten llenas de un sentimiento que te haran disfrutar cada segundo.

    Wonder is by far Shawn Mendes best album. The vocal improvement is top notch from falsetto to the incredible high notes. It hits all things feel during quarantine from missing friends to finding joy and love with people at home.

    This album is magical it makes you feel all the elations with it’s amazing production. Shawn shows his amazing pen game in this album with songs like Dream, Teach me how to love,
    24 hours and more. It is something completely different but at the same time sounds so authentic like Shawn Mendes.

    I have been a fan of Shawn for a few years and loved his previous albums, however there was little to no growth on this album at all. The lyrics were bland, boring and repetitive. The experimentation with new styles is there, but executed poorly. Feels lazy and rushed. We need more than whatever this is.

    Shawn tries to experiment with different sounds, but it is unsuccessful. There is no concept in this album, all songs are like taken from different albums and put into this one. Lyrics are poor and connected with one topic, which is relationships with Camila. But there are still some quite well-done songs like "Teach Me How To Love", "Monster", "Dream"

    Wonder is a celebration of Shawn's devotion to his girlfriend. From the cliché lyrics to some chosen instrumentals and beautiful vocals, it shows a lot that he is so in love, too in love that he shied away from his usual pop sound, creating an entirely new sound for him and his most incohesive album to date.

    In the pop “heartrob”’s (The only thing he’s robbed is my time, and frankly I want it back but alas) 4th album, he explores themes of love, loving, being in love, love, love, love, love. We get it Shawn, you’re in love. Though this album is promising in songs like “Dream”, the other songs are just the most cliche, and the most vanilla songs you’ll ever hear.

    He took me in his world, he addressed how is it being a celebrity and in love and being far from home. Ofc he’s going to talk about love bc which artist really doesn’t? I mean you must be a really annoying and boring person if you still are alone and complain about other’s life. He lives with camila and that has become his daily reality so it’s pretty obvious he’s going to talk about it. Anyways there are other themes on the album so if you can’t catch them maybe you need to listen again to it.

    In many ways, the album feels like a self-parody of what Shawn has come to appear like. The instrumentals, lyrics all have a sense of seriousness that has a complete lack of self awareness. Even when this maximalist type of rock music was popular, it just doesn't feel fun. Oddly enough, my favorite song is the Bieber collaboration, considering how understated and relatively simple it feels.

    This is Shawn’s best album yet, although I’m not a great fan of romantic music, he puts it in a way that isn’t that cheesy, there’s a lot of variety and the change in the middle of the songs Look Up at the Stars and in Song for No One really are something else.

    This album is amazing! Very different from Shawn's previous albums. All the songs sound so different and I love that he experienced more with this album. His voice has gotten so much better since his last album and I absolutely LOVE all the high notes we can hear in Song For No One and Dream for example.

    Very bad! Annoying and repetitive reminded me of another singer's album that is on that same album the "changes" of JB

    While the slower songs are fine, sometimes sincere, the growth on Wonder is all evident on the livelier tunes, all of which point toward a more adventurous twenties for Shawn Mendes.

    While “Wonder” is at times overambitious and overwrought, it does feel like the last stop on a particular journey. Mendes can’t sound much bigger than this without going full Adele, so what might come next is wide open.

    Mendes spends nearly every minute bowled over by the power of love. It’s nice to see his cup overflow so bountifully, but the near-constant awe quickly grows tiresome, especially when conveyed through clichés like, “Your body’s like an ocean, I’m devoted to explore you” and, “You’re my sunlight on a rainy day.”
